BEN Westwood and Toby King have both been hit with suspensions following Saturday’s opening-day victory over Leeds Rhinos.
Westwood will miss the next two matches after being hit with a Grade C dangerous contact charge by the RFL’s Match Review Panel.
The reasoning for the veteran's suspension is unclear but the 38-year-old was known to tackle Rhinos centre Konrad Hurrell with both feet off the floor during the first half.
King’s Grade B dangerous throw charge relates to the 73rd-minute incident which saw him sin-binned by referee Chris Kendall and he will sit out Saturday’s game against Hull Kingston Rovers.
